Hail Columbia.

Hail, Columbia, happy land
Hail. We heroes, heaven-born band,
Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,
Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let its altar reach the skies.
On the 5th of July, 1776, John Adams
wrote:

cided which was ever debated in America,

the day a success. There will be parade
in the morning, of which program will be
seen below, speech by S. F. Bowser,
ESQ.,, from the balcony of the Lowry House,
and fireworks and picnics that
evening. There are enough fireworks stor-
ed in Butler at present to shake the earth
upon which the town stands, to fill the at
niosphere with smoke, the sky with artificial
sta rs, and last but not least, to anninilate the
fingers of all the small boys. Fireworks are
beautiful things, but they should be handled
cautiously. The boys might take lesson
from the following old rhymes.
Ten little fingers toying with mine
Bang! went the powder and then there were
nine.
Nine little fingers fixing rockets straight
Zip kick backward, and then there were
eight.
Eight little fingers pointing up to heaven
Roman candle "busted" and then there were
seven.
Seven little fingers punk and powder mix
Punk was ignited, and then there were
Six little fingers for "sisser" strive
One went off with it, and then there were
five.
Five little fingers loading for roar
Boom went the cannon, and then there were
four.
Four little fingers with pack made free
Crash went cracker, and then there were
Three little fingers found the fuse burned blue
Bomb shell too previous, and then there were
two.
Two little fingers having lots of fun
Pistol exploded, and then there were
one.
One little finger fooling with gun
Didn't know twas loaded, and then there was
none.

Ready for the 4th.

The 4th of July, the anniversary
of the Nations birthday, is our next
holiday. and as fire works are an es-
initial element in its celebration, the
Pape brothers have prepared for it by

and most expensive stock ever
brought to Butler 1t con sists of
bombs, mines, rockets, candles, tri-
angles. pin wheels, large and small
fre-crackers, and every other design
of fireworks now manufactured and
of the latest designs. Everything in
the market from the smallest to the
largest, and from the cheapest to the
most expensive, can be found in their
arsenal, in the rear of Mrs. Pape's
store-room
Remember that the place to buy
your fire works is at the
PAPE Bros.
